Can Assignment's "post_manually" be made editable via the assignments API?

[AydinUtting]

Assignments can have post_manually set via the gradebook interface on Canvas, but via the API this property is read only. Is there a reason for this? If not can it be made editable when creating a new assignment and for editing a new assignment?

I have the same question.

Can an admin please respond to this 4-month-old question?
Thank you!

Hey! I found a way to do this using the graphql api!

You can see how to use the graphQL api here: https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.graphql.html

But basically there's a mutation called SetAssignmentPostPolicy, which you can use like this

mutation SetAssignmentPostPolicy($assignmentId: ID!, $postManually: Boolean!) {
    setAssignmentPostPolicy(
        input: {assignmentId: $assignmentId, postManually: $postManually}
    ) {
         postPolicy {
             postManually
         }
         errors {
             attribute
             message
        }
    }
}

 Not sure why this isn't available via the normal REST api
